The Net-Zero Foundation Strategy:
De-risking Modular & Energy Projects with Advanced Screw Piles

60 minutes webinar for UK developers, contractors and sustainability leads who need foundations that hit Future Homes Standard, Part Z and BREEAM UK - without the seven-week construction schedule. Two case studies. Real load tests. Audit-ready carbon footprint math.

the business case.

You won't get marketing slides. You'll get the methodology behind real load tests, the unit economics versus C12/C20 concrete, and the documentation auditors actually accept under BREEAM UK and EN 15978.

why attend

58%

Less CO₂e per project

A1–A3 cradle-to-gate, verified on a 148-pile PV carport build in July 2025.

1day

Install time vs 7 weeks

Compared to concrete strip footing on weak soils with high groundwater.

Torque pass rate

Continuous monitoring on every pile — electronic record for as-built sign-off.

If you're one of these three people,

this hour is for you.

We've shaped the session around the three roles whose carbon, schedule and tender numbers are most directly affected by what sits under the building.

Built for the UK market

Container homes, off-site housing, schools and emergency accommodation. You need a foundation that matches the speed of your factory output and complies with Future Homes Standard.

Modular & prefab developers

You'll leave with → a foundation spec that doesn't bottleneck the schedule

Solar carports, ground-mount, agri-PV, BESS pads. You're tendering against tight schedules, rough ground and operational sites that can't close — and CSRD/SDR investors who want Scope 3 numbers.

You'll leave with → an installation method that survives unstable terrain and audit

PV & energy storage EPCs

BREEAM UK assessors, ESG managers, whole-life carbon analysts. You need numbers backed by manufacturer data, not estimates — boundary, baseline, delta, evidence, narrative.

You'll leave with → an audit-ready reporting structure across four frameworks

Sustainability & BREEAM leads

what's on the table

60 minutes,

seven chapters.

We move from the regulatory frame down to the bolt geometry, through two case studies, and out into how to actually present this in a carbon report. Live Q&A throughout.

Future Homes Standard pushes operational emissions to near-zero — which leaves materials and process (Part Z) as the next battlefield. Why foundations are suddenly the biggest line item in a building's embodied carbon.

01 10:00 — 10:05

Why the UK foundation conversation is changing

The honest cost and schedule breakdown for a typical strip footing — excavation, formwork, pouring, curing — set against a one-day pile install. Where the money and the days actually go.

02 10:05 — 10:12

The unit economics: concrete vs screw piles

03 10:12 — 10:22

What's inside a WFS pile (and why it matters on site)

Cold-formed vs welded construction — what the hardness tests show, how the modular φ139.7 mm system adapts on the fly to worse ground than the geotechnical report predicted, and why our flange connection has no slippage.

04 10:22 — 10:35

Case Study 1 — Container building on non-bearing ground

3.5 m of organic soils, groundwater at 1.1 m. Traditional foundation: 7 weeks. Outcome: 21 piles, 1 day, 2.7 t equipment, no excavation, no dewatering. Load tests, torque, design resistance vs requirement.

05 10:35 — 10:45

Case Study 2 — PV carports on an operational car park

148 piles in 10 days, car park open throughout, granite interlayers, 8 m drop over 80 m. How we localised the design pile-by-pile and what the as-built documentation gave the client.

06 10:45 — 10:53

Carbon math: from project data to BREEAM/Scope 3 reports

Which framework applies where — BREEAM UK, EN 15978, GHG Protocol, LEED — and how the same as-built data feeds all four. The five-step audit-ready structure: Boundary → Baseline → Delta → Evidence → Narrative.

07 10:53 — 11:00

Live Q&A — ask the engineers anything

Bring your project: soil conditions, loads, schedule, the carbon paragraph your investor is asking for. We'll answer as long as questions keep coming.

The people who actually built it.

Not marketing. One senior engineer who designed the system and ran the load tests on both case studies, and one key account manager who's spent years in the trenches of construction and renewables tenders - so the hour is split equally between how it works and how it lands on a real project.

About the company

Foundations, not
just fasteners.

Winkelmann Foundation Screw is the foundation-engineering arm of the Winkelmann Group — a precision metal-forming business with decades of cold-forming heritage now applied below ground.

Winkelmann is a German-rooted, family-led industrial group. Its Foundation Screw division designs, manufactures and installs cold-formed screw piles from a dedicated facility in Poland — the same factory that produces the piles, calibrates them to each project, and provides the as-built documentation auditors expect.What that means for a UK client: one accountable partner for design, manufacturing, installation and the carbon report — instead of a chain of subcontractors trading risk between them.
